 Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2010 8:21 pm Post subject: GraphicsMagick conflicts with ImageMagick? |
 |
|
I just tried to install GraphicsMagick (well, it was pulled in as a dependency), but I get a conflict note with my existing ImageMagick. It tells me I can't have both installed at the same time. I did a web search, and those sites that discuss the compatibility say that both can reside on the same system with no problems. However, most of the web pages that make this claim are several years old.
The current GraphicsMagick page says, "GM does not does not conflict with other installed software." That's pretty vague, but it supports the notion that they should be able to coexist.
So does anyone know why the GraphicsMagick ebuild excludes ImageMagick?
I'm a bit afraid to remove ImageMagick, since I foresee lots of breakage on all kinds of packages that expect IM to be there.

Check your useflags...
It seems, that the imagemagick useflag on graphicsmagick forbids imagemagick to be installed on the system. Try to remove/unset the useflag.
just my .02$

Huh.
You're absolutely right! That's pretty counter-intuitive, but it seems to be working. Thanks!

No, thats braindead. Because graphicsmagick should be a dropin replacement for imagemagick, the USE flag compiles further tools which would conflict with imagemagick since they replace imagemagick.
But gentoo in it's allmighty wisdom choose to make fun of us and forces imagemagick EVEN if there is graphicsmagick with imagemagick USE flag, as GM is superior I feel fooled.
PS: so, this is clearly a bug! |

Some packages really force imagemagick or graphicsmagick in purpose because neither one is a replacement to anothers libraries. Only 1/3 of the reverse dependencies use the tools, rest use the libraries which don't match at all.
Not a bug. |
